My sister had the same problem when she was born and started losing wight too, turns out she was lactose intolerant and the milk she was being fed was nearly starving her.

Couple things I didn't see on here is always have baby reclined up when feeding to help prevent some of the gas and lay a warm (not hot) wet rag on babys tummy to help ease discomfort

I agree^^
You can also rub her tummy from the right to the left. Gently

Are you breastfeeding or fotmula feeding? She could be gassy. Babies can't tell the difference between gas pain and hunger pain, so when they're gassy they think eating will help, even if they're full. Try burping her more, and put her legs to her chest. It helps get farts out.
